| Abstract: | This paper proposes an improved wave function asperity elastic–plastic model. A cosine function that could better fit the geometric morphology was selected to construct the asperity, the elastic phase was controlled by the Hertz contact theory, the elastoplastic transition phase was corrected by the hyperbolic tangent function, and the fully plastic phase was improved by the projected area theory. The model broke through the limitations of the spherical assumption and was able to capture the stress concentration and plastic flow phenomena. The results show that the contact pressure in the elastic phase was 22% higher than that of the spherical shape, the plastic strain in the elastoplastic phase was 52% lower than that of the spherical shape, and the fully plastic phase reduced the contact area error by 20%. The improved hyperbolic tangent function eliminated the unphysical oscillation phenomenon in the elastoplastic phase and ensured the continuity and monotonicity of the contact variables, with an error of <5% from the finite element analysis. Meanwhile, extending the proposed model, we developed a rough surface contact model, and it was verified that the wavy asperity could better match the mechanical properties of the real rough surface and exhibited progressive stiffness reduction during the plastic flow process. The model in this paper can provide a theoretical basis for predicting stress distribution, plastic evolution, and multi-scale mechanical behavior in the connection interface.
